List of Calder Cup champions

This list is based on the Vanier Cup article. The list includes both champions and playoff MVPs because I felt both were were lacking as seperate articles, but combined they are more useful. I could also add a column for coaches of the winning team if anyone thinks it would help. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 21:41, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support Cool, man. Drewcifer (talk) 23:07, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved stuff from Drewcifer

Comment The dashes should be en-dashes, not hyphenes between years and for wins/losses. Also, I think the wins/losses column should be center aligned, since it's numbers not text. Other then that it looks pretty good. Drewcifer (talk) 21:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the dash thing. Dashing Maxim (talk) 22:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And I've aligned them. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:24, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The wins/losses still needs the en-dash. Drewcifer (talk) 22:37, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Added that too. My script for some reason didn't like it, so I had to do it manually (which really isn't much of a hassle, as it's simply copying the source into notepad and making it replace everything which was 4-0 to 4–1...) Maxim_(talk) 22:54, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie

"This is a List of Calder Cup champions..." - "Repeats the article title (and the "L" in "List" shouldn't be capitalized)

I removed the capital, otherwise for the repetition, the usual convention on Wikipedia is to put the name of article in bold in the first sentence. Maxim_(talk) 22:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's not one reference to cover the table? Do something like List of NBA champions or Boston Red Sox seasons (or just add a general reference at the bottom of the table with "colspan") « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 22:12, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's in general references. Adding a reference for every year is unnecessary clutter. There are reliable references for those fact in the general refs section. Maxim_(talk) 22:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why wasn't Jack A. Butterfield Trophy awarded until 1983-84? Add a reference and/or citation.

I think that'd be obvious, no? It wasn't created yet... Maxim_(talk) 22:19, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is true. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 22:24, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's all for now. « Milk's Favorite Cøøkie 22:10, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Add some spacing or something for "(#) Number of Calder Cups won at the time", like "(#) – Number of Calder Cups won at the time"
"List of Winners" → "List of winners"?

done and done. Thanks for taking a look. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 23:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from The Rambling Man (talk · contribs)

I found the intro a little confusing as it's unclear what relationship the JAB trophy has with the Calder Cup. I'd stick with just the Calder Cup and state later on that "The list also describes the winner of the JAB trophy...etc" with an explanation there as to its significance.
- Fixed.
Remove the period in the caption.
- Done.
Drop in an (AHL) after the first use so abbreviation use is clear.
- Done.
Is there a citation available for the purpose of the Memorial Trophy?
- Yes, added.
"has also won nine." I'd make it "has also won nine titles."
- Fixed
94/95 had multiple winners for the JAB trophy. This needs explanation. The Rambling Man (talk) 09:52, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know if there is an explanation. Both are goalies, so I'd assume that they both won the trophy because they both shared the time in goal equally. Thanks for taking a look. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 15:49, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Good image to illustrate the list; it is comprehensive and fulfills the criteria. Hello32020 (talk) 21:30, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support—I did some work on it previously, but for some reason never offered my formal support. Maxim_(talk) 15:20, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Find a more artistic way to introduce the article, rather than "This is a list of Calder Cup champions and finalists." We know this from the article's title
Wikilink American Hockey League in the references
Can you do sorting on the Winning and Losing team columns? Otherwise you should only wikilink the first time a team is mentioned.

Done, done and done. Thanks for taking a look. -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 18:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome. One final thing from me; "First awarded in 1937–38" sounds odd. Would you be happy to use "First awarded in the 1937–38 AHL season"? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 16:06, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It says in the "1937–38 season". Adding AHL creates a redundancy. What other season can it be? ;-) Maxim_(talk) 16:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It didn't when I reviewed this morning: [2]. Read it without the wikilink: "First awarded in 1937–38". One would think it was awarded in one of the years, not a span, so I preferred to see the word "season" to clarify. Anyway, it's done now Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 03:38, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
